I am a breast surgeon who takes care of patients with both benign and malignant breast disease. As a surgeon, I enjoy operating, but my favorite part of my work is developing a relationship with my patients, while providing them with the most state of the art breast care. My patients inspire me on a daily basis. I’m always impressed with their strength and conviction. The field of breast cancer research has exploded in recent years in terms of advancements in both diagnosis and personalized treatment options, which keeps me excited and energized. What’s great about our practice is that not only is it an intimate setting and convenient location, but we also have all the tools and specialists of a large practice. Outside of work, I like to spend time with my blended, modern family.

Before scheduling your appointment, we strongly recommend you contact your insurance company to verify that the Duke Health location or provider you plan to visit is included in your network. Your insurance company will also be able to inform you of any copayments, co–insurance, or deductibles that will be your responsibility. If you proceed in scheduling an appointment and your health insurance benefits do not participate with Duke, your out of pocket liability may be higher.
